Difficulty

There are two difficulties to choose from when you start a new game: Junior Detective and Senior Detective. The only difference between the difficulties is that the Bee’s Knees jazz machine puzzle in the lobby and the sliding pieces puzzle in the basement is more difficult on Senior Detective mode.

Conversations

It is important to talk to characters that you meet in the game about every subject that is currently available, as sometimes talking about one or more subjects to a character triggers an action that allows you to progress in the game. When talking to a character is mentioned in the walkthrough, it means to talk to that character about every available subject. Sometimes, ending the conversation with a character and then talking to them again brings up a list of new subjects.

Return to the lobby and move forward to hear the press conference. Return to the women’s dressing room to see that Simone has gone. Approach Simone’s desk and open the drawer. Take the hairpin:

If Nancy doesn’t take the hairpin, you need to examine the drawer below the mirror in the men’s dressing room. After taking the hairpin, return to the men’s dressing room and use the hairpin on the locked drawer below the mirror to open it. Examine the blue stage technician’s guide book:

Read the book to see the number 121192. There are also instructions for the Houdini Transformation trick. Close the book and the drawer. Return to the projection room. On the way through the backstage area, you will hear a splattering sound. When this happens, just wait for a few seconds and a stage light will fall to the floor.

Close the chest. Turn slightly left and examine the pizza box and shoe:

Move forward to the coffin and open it. Go through the doorway and follow the hall along to the electric gate:

Move forward to the keypad on the gate. Use the rubber gloves on the gate to press a number button. If a buzzer sounds, keep trying other numbers until you find the number button that can be pressed in. Next, try another number.
